Note: Ream the bushings (item 4 in
steering arms after installation. If the tools for ream are not available, replace the
arm assembly which has bushings installed and properly sized.
Do not damage the axle or arm bore during bushing removal.
1. Use a bushing removal tool to extract both the flange bushings from the
component.
2. Clean the inside of the component bore to remove any dirt or unwanted
material.
3. Apply grease to the inner and outer surfaces of new flange bushings.
4. Press the new flange bushings into the top and bottom of the component
until bushing flange bottoms on the component.
5. After bushing installation, ensure that the appropriate shaft, slides easily
into the bushings. If there is any binding, locate and correct the source of
binding before final assembly.
The left arm and right arm on both front and rear axles should have 0.03 to
1.03 mm (0.001 inch to 0.005 inch) clearance between the pin and the inner
diameter of installed bushing.
